拍品描述
Expert's note: Bottles, vases, and jars were only very rarely produced by the Ding white ware kilns around Baoding city in Hebei province, which had specialized in the production of round, open shapes. Closed, upright shapes, especially with a tall slender neck as seen on the present vase, represented a much greater challenge, requiring precision in throwing to make the separately thrown parts fit, and diligence in joining to ensure neat and firm alignment, as they were much more likely to collapse or tilt in the kiln.China, 960-1127. Of elegant and voluminous proportions, the meiping-form body rising from a narrow base and sweeping to high rounded shoulders, surmounted by a tall waisted neck and flaring into a conical dish-shaped mouth with a short galleried rim, the exterior finely incised and combed with two large lotus blossoms issuing scrolling vines, and covered overall in an cream-white glaze.Provenance: Bluett & Sons, London, United Kingdom, first half of the 1980s. Collection of Peter Schmidt, Germany, acquired from the above, according to information he provided to the Nagel auction house at the time of the sale of his collection in 2012. Nagel, Stuttgart, 2 November 2012, Lot 603, sold for EUR 16,640 or approx. EUR 22,000 (adjusted for inflation at the time of writing). An important private collection in southern Germany, acquired from the above. Peter Schmidt (1937-2025) was a highly influential German brand designer. His Peter Schmidt Group is currently Germany's most successful brand and design agency. In its early years the company focused on packaging designs for consumer goods and cosmetics; in 1980, it began to design perfume bottles with great success. His most famous works include the signet of the City of Hamburg and the logo of the German Bundeswehr, and he has received countless awards and accolades for his work. He was also a passionate artist and an avid collector of Asian art. A large part of his collection was bequeathed during his lifetime to the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg, including many works acquired in London from renowned dealerships such as Bluett & Sons, John Sparks, Bernheimer, and Marchant. Condition: Excellent condition with minor wear and firing irregularities including few small glaze recesses.Weight: 505 g Dimensions: Height 23.1 cmThe understated elegance and sublime simplicity of white Ding ware evokes ideals of classical beauty to be one of the most admired ceramic wares of China to this day. True Ding ware is mostly of good quality and pleasing design, but this vessel is an exceptionally rare and outstanding example of the ware at its very best: combining exquisite material with fine potting, graceful proportions and a freely incised design that appears to have been sketched from life. Furthermore, while open vessels such as bowls and dishes were created in abundance, upright examples of this type represent a maturation of techniques of which very few examples have survived. The booming demand for white wares is the product of a fresh aesthetic that was brought about by the newly established Song dynasty and the subsequent changes in the distribution of wealth and resources as well as a renewed discovery of the beauty of nature. In a quest to establish an identity that deviated from that of the Tang but aimed at reviving a romanticized concept of antiquity based on Han dynasty Confucian ideals, the scholar-elite of the Song promoted commercial liberalism which granted much freedom to the activities of merchants, brokers and landowners who in turn transformed the capital into a vibrant urban hub.Within this dynamic atmosphere, the Ding kilns of the Northern Song period experienced surges in development and popularity. Given the overall excellence of this white ware, it is natural that the court selected it as one of its official ceramics. Many Ding vessels were discovered in the tomb of Emperor Taizong's empress, who died in AD 977 and was later reburied in AD 1000. A large number of Ding vessels from the Qing court collection still remain in the Palace Museum, Beijing, and in the National Palace Museum, Taipei, several of them bearing inscriptions by the Qianlong Emperor. Most of these pieces, however, are bowls and dishes, while any upright shapes (like the present vase) are extremely rare.Literature comparison: Compare a related carved Dingyao white glazed meiping vase carved with a floral design, with similarly double-lined and combed petals, dated to the Song dynasty, in the Palace Museum, Beijing, inventory number 新00059774. Compare the similar form of the upper rim and color of the glaze. Compare a related dingyao mallet-form vase with carved lotus design, dated to the Northern Song dynasty, from the Percival David Foundation and now in the British Museum, registration number PDF.103.Auction result comparison:Type: RelatedAuction: Sotheby's Hong Kong, 4 April 2017, lot 3218Price: HKD 19,900,000 or approx. EUR 2,519,000 converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writing: An exceptional and extremely rare dingyao carved 'peony' bottle vase, Northern Song dynastyExpert remark: Compare the color of the glaze and finely incised floral decoration. Note the different form.
